Replying to Anyone ever start a ski club/group with the purpose of getting people into the sport?

I've been thinking about this for a couple years but never pulled the chain. After hearing/seeing how the sport has declined over the decades I've thought about starting a ski club at my work to bring people to the sport. One of the reasons is because no one I know skis. Another is the declining participation in the sport. Recruiting folks to ski will help sustain this sport for years to come and I think we all have a role to play in that. Think about how many of you had the idea to ski on your own or if someone asked you to try it. Obviously anyone is welcome and the goal would be to get people to affordably do this; difficult but possible.

This piggybacks off of the "minorities aren't welcome in skiing" subject. I personally can empathize with how funding and travel barriers impact one's ability to join this sport whether it be boarding or skiing.

So back to the post. Any tips? What suggestions can you make? What barriers did you encounter?

I have a little experience with starting stuff as I started a lax program at my college and dealt with all the barriers that it presented especially getting broke ass college kids to join and continue in the sport. I think that will help me in this but any suggestions are helpful.
